What is the list of codes I am going to get when I block my EGR valve off and take the CAT off :D

Most likely P0401 and P0404. If you have federal emissions, they won't light off the SES. If you have Cali emissions, its gonna light.

These are the ones I saw until the Finger Stick was applied.

Blocking the EGR will get you the 401 404 codes for sure. Removing just the kitty may or may not throw a code.

ok I just put my EGR blocker plate in. How long does it take to set a code??? I started it up and let it run for 5 minutes or so and no code.. Shut it off and restarted it let it run for 5 mins and no codes?? Now I am wondering if I blocked the right thing

I'm pretty sure the check has to run first. Drive it around for a day or two and you'll see the codes.

If you blocked the wrong thing, you'd probably already know. ):h

If you install the finger stick, then remove the cat and block the egr, will it throw codes?
I assume you are reading these with some type of devise?

No. The Finger Stick fools it into thinking the EGR is working just fine.

You only get codes when your intake tube pops out!):h
